After spending most of my Sunday in bed I woke up feeling bad still this morning. Instead of going walking i had an extra hour in bed and then got up at 6am and had an impromptu weigh in and then did my first weights session. I basically only did 3 sets of 10 reps of bench press with 20kgs weight as the Barbell was too heavy to do push press and biceps curls with and I didn’t feel like taking weight off to do these.
I have a pair of 3kg dumbbells arriving this afternoon so I will try and do the rest of my workout later today.
Weigh-in wise I was surprised that I am back down to 105.6kgs again today so I have lost 1.7kgs since Thursday Morning!
The 3kg dumbbells arrived just before lunchtime so I tried a set of the shoulder sequence and they are a little bit heavy and strained my shoulder a little bit so I have ordered a pair of 2kg ones that will arrive tomorrow so I will be able to do a full workout on Wednesday morning.
As I am not feeling too great still I think that I may wait until next week to get started with the leg weights and just workout my upper body/ shoulder this week on Mon, Wed and Fri and walk Tues and Thurs for now. Although, it is supposed to start snowing tomorrow so I may have to not walk as well this week 🙁 I will wake up at 5 anyway and see how cold it is and decide then. I really need to start exercising more as I need to drop as much weight as possible before I start riding the BMX again to try and limit the amount of injuries that I pick up when I start to give it some beans!
The weights seem to be stretching my shoulder nicely as after today’s session I can feel that I have gained a fair bit of movement back and it seems to be the movement that was stopping me pumping last week which is ideal. Once I can pump pain free I can start to train on the track again doing pump laps to get used to carrying speed again and also build up endurance too for when I start going flat out again.
I am hoping that my DMR frame arrives tomorrow as it was supposed to arrive today or tomorrow but I haven’t received any notifications that the frame has even been sent yet and my email to the customer support team at the shop that I bought the frame from has not been replied to yet 🙁
I am also hoping that I feel more human again tomorrow as I still felt pretty shitty all day today!
